Are Binary Triggers Legal in Arkansas?

Arkansas sections 5-73-104 and 5-73-105 pair the state's prohibited-weapons offense with exceptions for legitimate manufacture, repair, and transport. The provisions surfaced in ATF's Arkansas compendium do not name binary triggers, so the device's one shot on pull and one on release must be analyzed under the text actually defining the covered weapon.

Binary triggers are legal under federal law and are not machine guns under 26 U.S.C. § 5845(b); ATF treats the trigger pull and the trigger release as two separate functions of the trigger, so one round is fired per function. Cargill v. Garland (2024) concerned bump stocks, not binary triggers, and does not change this.

Scope: Binary triggers (Franklin Armory BFSIII and similar): fire one round on trigger pull and one on release. Forced reset triggers are a separate class.
